Using a population health approach to healthcare delivery, the LAI clinic provides targeted services for patients with SMI who are in need of transition of care services to outpatient treatment, for the specialized treatment of treatment-resistant depression, for the administration of long-acting antipsychotic injectable medications, and for the induction and early treatment phase of medication-assisted treatment.
The LAI clinic model works to improve overall patient adherence to treatment, improve management of therapeutic drug interactions and reduce emergency department and inpatient admissions.
